Peyton Manning Threw Six Interceptions Against the San Diego Chargers in 2007

Michael Vick threw four interceptions yesterday, but the Philadelphia Eagles still eked out a 17-16 win over the Cleveland Browns.

Many quarterbacks have thrown four INTs in a game over the years. But what’s the record for most interceptions thrown in a game? The answer is seven. Five QB’s have managed such an ignominious achievement.

Twenty-six different quarterbacks have thrown six in a game, including Peyton Manning, the last one to do it. Hall of Famers Joe Namath and George Blanda did it three times apiece.

And of course, no interception list would be complete without Brett Favre, who has a 6-INT game to his credit, too.

Now, what about the other side of the ball?

The most interceptions caught in a game is four. Thirteen different players have done it, with only the St. Louis Cardinals‘ Jerry Norton doing it twice. Very nice.

The Washington Redskins‘ still active cornerback, DeAngelo Hall, was the last to do it, in 2010.
